The Truth About Biossance 

*not sponsored by Dior* lmao

hi hyram! i would love to see a video about how to read product labels as a consumer. things like the 1% line, symbols, expiration dates, ingredients to watch out for, etc. xo

I WANT THE TRUTH OF LA ROCHE POSSAY

I think, at the very least, Biossance should come out with a fragrance-free line of products. that way they’re appealing to more than one market

Squalene vs. squalane Squalene (with an “e”) is a lipid produced naturally by your own skin cells. Unfortunately, the amount of squalene your body produces declines with age. Peak production of this natural moisturizer occurs in the teen years, with production slowing down in your 20s or 30s. As a result, your skin becomes drier and rougher. Squalene isn’t only natural in humans. The moisturizer is naturally present in olives, rice bran, and sugarcane. It’s also found and harvested from shark livers. Squalene must be hydrogenated to be included in skin care products. Animal and plant squalene is too unstable to be used in skin care products. When exposed to oxygen, it can become rancid and spoil quickly. Before it can be used in skin care products, squalene must be hydrogenated into squalane (with an “a”), which is a stable form of the molecule. Hydrogenation is the process of converting squalene from an unsaturated oil to a saturated oil (squalane). Hydrogenation makes the oil more skin-friendly and helps increase its shelf life.

Thank you so so much for mentioning the unsustainable horrid processes for traditionally harvesting squalene!! As a superstar ingredient squalane has really blown up and it’s caused confusion. Thank you for putting this information out there, love your channel and love your approach to brands, you’re amazing!

you should totally review farmacy!😀

For anyone reading this: I am obsessed with the squalene+rose+vitamin c oil. It has absolutely changed my skin. I recently started retinol and on the days I don’t use it, I use this and a thick moisturizer and I have zero dry patches. I highly recommend

Hey Hyram! I just wanted to say thank you so much!! You’ve helped me straighten out my skincare routine, as well as widen my knowledge of ingredients. I have a long way to go to clear up my skin and get it so I where I need it to be. But thanks to you, I don’t feel as hopeless as I used to be. Through your guidance I’ve also managed to help a few friends out who were also struggling. Thank you for all the hard work you put into your amazing channel. Much love❤️❤️❤️

best channel I’m subscribed to. I appreciate the non-BS standpoint you take & the research that goes into this! 💕

im not kidding i been watching your videos for the past 2 weeks and i swear my skin is slowly clearing up.....

I genuinely hope you continue to promote skin products that don’t have alcohol, fragrance, and essentials oils in them. I hope your channel doesn’t change. I also feel as though finding brands that care about being sustainable is 100% beneficial for everyone so thank you for touching on that!!!

I’m getting over my need to have things “smell nice” instead of actual benefit. You’re like the Obi Wan Kenobi of skincare! Aaaand you don’t break my bank 💗💗💗💗

LOL that brief dior commercial IM DEAD

I'm so thankful that someone besides me can't stand the smell of rose. Been waiting on this review. Thank you!!!

I stumbled upon your channel just over a week ago. I have binge watching ever since. I want to thank you for your honest reviews and recommendations. I live in Florida so it gets very hot and humid here. My skin use to be combination but it has changed to dry, very dry and flaky especially around my chin and nose area. I have tried so many skin care items and nothing really worked. Some items worked for a short time then stopped. I have ordered many of your recommendations, so far I have received the simple gel wash. I've only had it for 2 days but I must say, WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!! My skin does not feel all tight after using, it even feels hydrated. I can not wait to receive the other items I've purchased. Thank you so much for the time and effort you have put in your videos. Keep being you and I will certainly keep watching!!!

I finally got why I’ve been obsessed with your videos and your personality 😍😍🥰 you remind me of the character “Jack” from the show Will and Grace , you even look similar to him. I love all of your information videos because a lot of these companies will just shove things into a tube and try to sell it as clean because many people don’t research the ingredients on the back.

i'm a marine biologist and i was SO excited when you started talking about sharks and squalene!! you explained it so well!! would love to see a video of you talking about shark products and skincare :)

Thank you for reviewing this brand! It's quickly becoming a new obsession for me. I appreciated the back story and overview. I have VERY sensitive skin and rosacea. I've had no irritation! Amazed!

I fell in love w the Omega cream from a Beauty Box. I’ve purchased five products in the line and can’t wait for them to get here. Thanks for this vid!

I’ve been waiting for this thank you I bought a bunch of their stuff this season because i am new to all this skincare stuff and I just want a company to trust, especially ethically that’s huge for me. I haven’t watched yet but I trust your opinion! So thank you in advance, regardless

THE TRUTH OF TATCHA PLEASE!!!

AGAIN, so helpful. I was just about to get on-line and scratch my way through ingredient lists and I thought, "let me see if Hyram says anything about Biossance"; and he does! Always appreciative of your thoughtfulness, time and energy! I had been using another 'luxury' line OSEA, also with good ethics etc...but FRAGRANCE! You are so right, and now that I am an educated consumer, it is really frustrating.

Your energy is everything Hyram 😍🤗♥️♥️♥️ thanks for being here

your "A" is holding on for dear life cracked me up you are the best Hyram keep it up you give best info ever......THANKS

Thank you for bringing up the Sharks, it’s good to inform the public 🙏 and I’ve loved Biossance for a long time, but I’m with you on the Rose smell!

I love how you carry yourself! Loved your new series and also enjoy your reviews

I'm sooo soo happy you did this review!! I have combination skin and I have been using their omega repair cream lately. It is doing wonders for my skin during the winter. I will probably use the gel version during the summer :)

Thank you so much for reviewing this brand! By luck, I ended up purchasing your top 3 favorite products over Black Friday and I absolutely love them as well! I can definitely attest that the repair cream is great for people with dry skin and is definitely not too heavy for me. Great video!!

What are your thoughts on the Kylie Skin foam wash ingredients? I’m currently using and quite like it!

Yay! Thank you for giving your honest opinion on these products! I’ll definitely stay away from the rose products. I’ve really enjoyed their moisturizers though! I’m glad I can make more informed purchases because of your helpful videos! Have a great day 😊

Thank you for this! Also good to know that we don't have to buy a separate eye cream from our moisturizer. I used to always buy them separate and ended up spending over $100 because my moisturizer was over $50 and then eye creams are around $50 too. Just saved myself $50 woooo I'm glad overall you approve of this brand because I recently purchased some of their products and was hoping I was spending my money on a good brand. I also only bought nonfragrance products because I got sensitive, dry skin so I ain't messing with no fragrance. Your channel is definitely the best channel I've discovered this year. Keep up the good work and congrats on being able to quit your daytime job

Hyram! I love that you included the text boxes with the name of the ingredients. The visual learner in me is appreciative.

So funny, I was looking at this brand on sephora and I thought let me check RU-vid and there you were. Thank you for your amazing reviews.

When shopping for skincare, I always ask myself, “WWHD? What would Hyram do?” 😁

You make SUCH great points in your reviews. Thank you for your guidance!

I adore their products, it’s so good for my sensitive dehydrated skin. And the rose oil smells so nice, it has a very subtle smell, so if you can, just get the mini before buying full size. Btw, I hate rose smell/taste too, so I was genuinely surprised that the smell is so good.

The lab who created Biossance recently partnered with Costa Brazil as well as Rose Huntington Whitely. Big names in fashion who I'm sure you know! The lab also created a new baby brand, named Pipette, which makes very gentle products including hand sanitizer.

I’ve been soooooo excited for this video! 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

Recieved the probiotic gel mini as a gift back in april, loved it! Haven't repurchased because I'm in a trial period trying to figure out what I really need vs whay I want or enjoy 🤣 this is one of those, MUST have, probably will go for the mini size

I’m screaming omg the Biossance omega repair cream is what I need especially for the winter. A thick heavy moisturizer that’s packed with ingredients including SHEA BUTTER? Yes pls for my Sahara desert skin

Squalene is the sound I make when I stub my little toe. Squalane is what happens when I eat an entire bag of sriracha flavored Doritos in one sitting.

Omg thank you so much for posting this video!!!!

I love that your not bias in your reviews. Subscribed! 😊

I love biossance! I agree with you that they should release more fragrance-free products.

I loveee the marine algae eye cream honestly. Super hydrating. You should review herbivore!! They don’t contain any fragrance.

yayyyyy im so grateful you reviewed them I love biossance !

Hyram i really like your channel! It is like a whole new level! It feels like i got so much info on ingredients in every video! Thanks! Hope your channel grow bigger and lets road to 200K!!!!

I can’t with you 😂 “lactococ...😉cus ferment. Great video though Hyram! You’ve been posting so often and all your videos are the bombbb 🥰

LOL I was watching this and my mom walked by and said, "Oh I know him!!" 😂You've become so famous now Hyram even my mom knows of you! 🎉

I have been binge watching your videos for the past few weeks. So glad you did this video. I have been using biossance for over a year, before they were sold at Sephora. I always buy from them directly. They have awesome customer service. Great deals on their site at the right times. The 100% squalane, is HG for me. Once a year they sell it for $19 a bottle. I agree with you about the lip balm and all the rosey rose oil and scent in the line. keep creating videos, please. Your format is informative. #onpoint

I’m so glad you covered this brand! That eye cream that’s goals haha 😍 and I’ve really been wanting to try their retinol cream or it’s like a retinol that’s more of a cream gel, it’s really expensive but if you use a retinol a few times a week I think it could be a nice investment

Biossance updated their lip balm formula. Now it's fragrance free and in a tube form. Much easier to apply and better formula!

I was so afraid to watch this video because of how much I love Biossance products I have but also because of how much I respect your opinions!

I love with this series that you trick people who come for the tea into a positive and informative review

I just love how much research you do!,thank you for this!...I’ve been wanting to try this line. Have you ever tried Bites Agave lip balm.....it’s my go to! Really does the job and no Rose smell!

Can you do a review on Fresh beauty?! Especially the umbrian clay line?! I NEED TEA SIS!!

I bought a bunch of Biossance products before finding Hyram. One that I HATED was the cleansing oil-it was so fragranced and it burned when I used it around my eyes, which is really the only place I wear makeup so that sucked. But I am completely in love with the omega repair cream. It’s expensive, but I broke out in irritated dry red patches when I switched to the Cerave moisturizing cream. I guess my skin has expensive taste, 😂

This is my favourite skin care range! 🤗 Ever since I stated using a few Biossance products my rosacea has gone, and my skin is now as fair as it was in my early 20s! My absolute faves? - the Squalene and Omega Repair cream, the Marine eye cream, the Squalene Lactic acid Resurfacing Night Serum, and the Squalene Vitamin C Rose oil. LOVE. ❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much Hyram! What would I do without you! Hope you are doing well ❤️

Aloha, I just wanted to let you know in the RU-vid preview of this video. It translates your name from Hyram to Ironman. 😊 Love your content.

The Tea Tree Cleanser is incredible!! Saved my skin from all the tiny bumps and little acne spots. Changed the game for me.

Hey Hyram. In future videos, would you consider showing us the consistency/texture of the products you talk about? As always, love your content and appreciate your opinion and honesty. 😁

The moisturizers are my favorite. The gel for summer and my son's oily, acne prone skin and the repair cream that saved me when the weather got cold. I got a nasty chemical burn this summer and after First Aid Beauty helped, the gel and repair cream and the lactic acid got my skin so creamy and smooth. LOVE!!!!

I use the 100% squalane oil and I love it. I also use it on my son’s face since he has eczema. Highly recommend.♥️

Their tea tree balancing oil has become my go to, my breakouts and redness disappear over night after one use.

Can you do a Truth About Kiehl's & Olay? (Also, thanks for your no froo froo approach to skin care! And for always being willing to repeat yourself and explain the science behind certain ingredients in multiple videos! It really does help cause there's just much to remember when you're starting out) :)

I love Squalane! It’s very moisturizing to my skin. Another moisturizing ingredient that my skin loves is urea. It’s been a game-changer to my skincare routine!

I love you’re videos!! I want to know if you could do a video on at home beauty devices, I currently have a laser in my Amazon cart right now!😂I also have a red light device,blue light, microdermabrasion device, etc. You name it I have it😀

Thank you for talking about sharks! I always appreciate how you talk up products that are vegan and/or environmentally conscious.

Omg best Video Hyram ,Love it ! Funny and informative.

So I’ve been watching your videos for the past week and my skin has been clearing up! Can you do a video on the best way to keep your skin firm and lifting! You are awesome and I love your honesty and the fact that you don’t promote only high end skincare brands. Also a video on Gyltone the vitamin c and e serum?!

Who ever dislike this video... we can fight. 🤬

I have fine lines under my eyes and dark circles and i'm crazy about their eye cream and eye gel! It really smooths the under eye area out.

Everytime I'm thinking of trying a new skincare I come to search your channel first hahaha!! I love biossance rose oil now!

Thank you for the review. I always look for your comments before I think about purchasing a facial cream. Also appreciate you educating us on ingredients. Peace

I'm there for the Squalane and the Omega Repair Cream as they both sound awesome. Regarding the fragrance .... I think we ALL ought to DM Biosance and plead with them to remove this ingredient, 😊😊😊. 💖💖💖💖

Please do a video about the shark issue! I had no idea and would love to hear more

Hiram! I wasn’t planning in buying the omega moisturizer but cos of this review I’m getting ready to go buy it

Yes to the video on squalene!!

Am gonna say only one thing about 'marine algae' Cosmetics & Skincare products: I'm worried about the actual sustainability of the sources as these are *huge multibillion dollar a year businesses!* I'm an Alaskan Native who has seen firsthand how the oceans are being affected by pollution, increasing temperatures by melting glaciers & polar caps, am tired of watching marine life wash up dead in numbers unseen ever before & our food sources going down, as well as several species of birds, seals, walruses, others not able to procreate due to lack of sea ice. Otherwise, I enjoyed the video, appreciate learning from you. Thanks for sharing & have a great day today!

I love their squalene pepide eye gel. As a 50 year old woman I noticed that the level of moisturization I need around my eyes would be too heavy for the rest of my face which is why using my regular face moisturizer as an eye cream isn't enough anymore.

ive been using that gel moisturizer for months and im so glad you like it and approve!

Very informative. Thanks. Love hearing the science.

Ooo! I swear by their Omega Repair Cream. It changed my life. They had 30% off for “Cyber Monday” and I bought 6 jars to last me until Labor Day sales LOL. Plus they threw in their new lip balm free with purchase. I can’t wait to try it as a sample. Watching the video now 😍 I’m scared but grateful ♥️

The way you feel about rose-scented products is the way I feel about lavender 🤣 I don't know why so many people love it! Also, could you please check out Yves Rocher? I use their Ultra Fraîcheur Hydra Végétal facial cleanser. Your thought would be much appreciated!

I literally just learned about Biossance (from a Susan Yara video I think) and ordered the lip balm and sunscreen over the weekend. I read my email saying it was shipped, and 2 minutes later I see this video! I can't wait to try them. I am a weirdo and have loved the smell of rose since I was a kid though.

How do you read my mind Hyram!? I was *just* thinking about how I was going to buy their eye gel since I tried a sample in a beauty box & really liked it but wanted to get more information on their formulation from you. Then I go on RU-vid & immediately see this! 👏🏼

I’m guilty of loving the smell of roses 🥀 even if they’re bad for my skin

I like their eye gel, but they’re overpriced. What I really dislike is the emphasis on clean and non toxic, which aren’t regulated terms.

Omg the ingredients in that Omega Repair Cream look 👌👌👌. Like, exactly the kind of moisturizer I've been searching high and low for. I would buy it in an instant if it weren't so pricey.

I LOOOOOVED THE VIDEO!!!! THANKS!!! I also think that the products are incredibly small... I'm from brazil and for us, it's really expensive. I ordered 2 kits and they cost 500,00 reais. When it arrived I was shocked by the size of the products

Love Biossance so so much! I’m obsessed with their Omega Repair Cream. I have combination skin and don’t find it too heavy. Their vitamin c rose oil is also phenomenal. Leaves my skin glowing! The fragrance doesn’t bother me because it’s pretty minimal

Was just getting ready to go to bed.. guess not 🥴❤️

HYRAM! Love your videos! Could you do a video dedicated to clean skincare?? Kisses from Canada!! 🌱🌿🌱🌿

i purchased gel moisturizer after watching your video. and oh man.... i am so happy that i did. i have combination skin leaning little dry in winter and it is such a wonderful moisturizer! it is fantastic under my makeup and nighttime to keep my skin happy. and it did not break me out! i agree with you 100%. fragrances in skincare is big no-no for my sensitive acne prone skin. hope they could make products without fragrances because i am loving this gel moisturizer so far!

So, first off, so excited for the vid! And this got me hyped for my skin care, which I was so struggling with today! Thank you for posting today Hyram! My biggest problem with them is that they don’t add little spatulas to their jars. Dipping your fingers into the jars can breed bacteria, and that’s just suuuuuuuper gross. Do they expect us to get our own spatulas???

weren’t you just celebrating 100k 🎉 now look where you at - hard work pays off !!!

You explained so well wow thank you for this !!!🙂

Omg! I did good! I’ve been on a hunt for a new moisture as the one I was using had fragrance. I’m very picky with moisturizers and how they feel on my face. So after a few trial and errors I ran across this brand. Bought a sample kit of different Biossance products and tried the Squalane + Probiotic Gel Moisturizer. I LOVE it. And I kept on wondering what you would think of it. I’m so glad I decided to scroll your channel.....again.....and realized you did a review on the brand. After watching the video I was like “YES! It’s Hyram approved!” Thanks for all your help!! I’m slowly getting my whole skin care routine Hyram approved 😄
